He tricked Dems into exercising political power for the public good in a manner appropriate to the situation, truly a monumental achievement.

Famously, a man who does not drink alcohol. And yet.
Trump is ranting barely coherently to McDonald's franchise owners: "The one pilot said, 'skedaddle!' And that thing just turned on its side -- pppph. And it's so unbelievable. And that knocked out Iran nuclear capability."

Some personal news, I have left NYC and I will claim it was because of Mamdani in exchange for some of that right-wing grifter money that’s always sloshing around, at which point I could maybe afford to move to NYC or someplace cool like that.

Grijalva should insist on being sworn in on the petition.
